A file called pstrip.exe also installs with the PowerStrip adware program. This program adds a toolbar to Internet Explorer. The toolbar consists of a search button and news feed. Both are controlled by thepowerstrip.com. We'd recommend removing any of the following files that appear on your system: pstrip.exe, powrstrp.dll, pslauncher.exe, psocx.dll, pssetup.exe, ltdmgr.exe. First, kill these files in your Active Task list. Next, remove them from both IE Helpers and Startup Programs.
